Animal Crackers - Pawleys Island / Murrells Inlet Pet Sitting
About Us
It can be difficult being away from home when you're worried about the care and happiness of your pets. Animal Crackers provides quality individualized care for your pet(s).
Your pet will be lavished with affection and needed attention.
An in-home consultation will be provided before any services. During that time I will get to know you and your pet(s), their routine and answer any questions you may have regarding our services.
Deb Van Allen has had pets her whole life and she has also worked with injured and displaced animals for many years. Helping with injured and orphaned animals was a hobby that turned into a lifetime devotion. Having worked in the business world for a number of years, helping animals was a needed outlet. That changed as Deb realized that her real calling is in helping the special creatures that make our world so much more enjoyable. Deb's love of animals is boundless and she will give your pet the same care and affection that is given to her pets.
While you are away, I will visit your home as many times as you request - generally 2-3 times per day. My scheduled visits make sure your pet never goes for long periods of time without someone to care for him or her. Each visit is approximately 30 minutes and can include feeding, if requested; letting your pet outside for potty breaks; play time with me, or snuggle time, if preferred; I do my best to make their time as happy and stress-free as possible while you're away.
While at your home I can bring in the mail and newspapers; water plants, if needed, and alternate shades and lighting to give your home a lived-in look. I can also run errands such as picking up pet food or light grocery shopping for your return!
Services can be customized for your situation. If you'd like your pet to be taken to an area park for a walk, or you want his nails cut, these can be arranged too. Just talk with me about your pet's needs.
